This project is about a five-challenge literacy adventure, rooted in climate action & social justice. It is a Cross-Curricular project which involves two different subjects: Science + English Literacy.
SDG 13 – Climate Action
GOAL: To discover young climate activists from around the world and reflect on the power of individual agency.
Core literacy skills:
- Identifying key ideas from a speech/presentation.
- Summarising information.
- Extracting vocabulary from context.
- Cause–effect reasoning.
TASK 0. Warm-up “Storm of Ideas”. Students brainstorm words related to “climate change makers.” (Examples: “voices rising,” “hands planting,” “oceans calling.”)
TASK 1. Listening to the teachers presentation and taking notes (The presentation has accessible texts, each with visuals and simplified vocabulary).
TASK 2. Detective Role. In PAIRS, highlight:
- What problem climate activists fight
- What actions they take
- Why climate change matters
Micro-FINAL-Product: “Climate Heroes Needed: We Need Climate Change Activists” Poster. Each PAIR will create a poster summarising their activist proposal based on the presentation facts.
In your poster, there must be AT LEAST…
- Drawing/colouring
- One quote from the presentation.
- Three facts from the presentation.
- A “superpower for the planet” the students decide is necessary.
You can use sentence starters: “This activist protects…”
You can use graphic organisers (mind-maps, venn diagram, etc.)
